    Pinehaven Stream Improvements Archaeological assessment of Pinehaven Stream Floodplain Management July 2017 Archaeological assessment of Pinehaven Stream Floodplain Management for Jacobs Ltd Kevin L. Jones Kevin L. Jones Archaeologist Ltd 6/13 Leeds Street WELLINGTON 6011 [email protected] Wellington 15 July 2017 Caption frontispiece: Pinehaven c. 1969 viewed from the north. Trentham camp mid-left, St Patricks (Silverstream) College at right. Pinehaven Stream runs across the centre of the photograph. Source: Hutt City Library. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This assessment reviews the risk of there being archaeological sites as defined in the Heritage NZ Pouhere Taonga Act 2014 in the vicinity of the works proposed for the Pinehaven Stream. The geomorphology of the area has been reviewed to determine whether there are older land surfaces that would have been suitable for pre-European or 19th C settlement. Remnant forest trees indicate several areas of older but low-lying (flood-prone) surfaces but field inspections indicate no archaeological sites. A review of earlier (1943) aerial photographs and 19th C survey plans indicate no reasonable cause to suspect that there will be archaeological sites. A settlement established in 1837 by Te Kaeaea of Ngati Tama in the general area of St Patricks College Silverstream is more or less on the outwash plain of the Pinehaven Stream. The fan north of the college is heavily cut into by the edge of the Hutt valley flood plain. This is the only historically documented 19th C Maori settlement on the Pinehaven Stream fan but it is outside the area of proposed works. Another broad class of archaeological site may be earlier forms of infrastructure on the stream such as dams, mills, races, bridges, abutments, and logging and rail infrastructure.

Photography copyright 2009 J. Rugis. Hymenophyllum sanguinolentum This filmy fern grows as an epiphyte on the trunks of trees ferns. In dry weather it characteristically protects itself by curling up, waiting for a rain shower and re-hydration. The height range of the plants shown in this image is approximately 3-4cm. Sticherus cunninghamii Sticherus, commonly known as 'umbrella fern', can be found on exposed clay banks. Loxsoma cunninghamii The genus Loxsoma contains only this single species, native to New Zealand and nowhere else. This rare fern is now largely confined to central Coromandel. Older yellow fronds co-exist with several shades of younger green fronds. Loxsoma is usually found on stream banks. Loxsoma cunninghamii The spore bearing capsules are tubular and located on the underside of the fronds. As can be seen in this image, fully extended spent capsules are found on older fronds. Loxsoma cunninghamii The underside of younger fronds is distinctively white colored. In this image we see the spore capsules at a stage in their development when they are just beginning to eject spore.

    RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE SPENCER ROAD PART OF THE LAKE TARAWERA CATCHMENT R4152c RESTORATION PLAN FOR THE SPENCER ROAD PART OF THE LAKE TARAWERA CATCHMENT Contract Report No. 4152c February 2017 Updated February 2019 Project Team: Richard Gillies - Fieldwork, report author Jennifer Murray - Fieldwork, report author Sarah Beadel - Field assessment, project management, report author, peer review Prepared for: Lake Tarawera Ratepayers Association and Tarawera Landcare 2115 99 SALA STREET, WHAKAREWAREWA, 3010, P.O. BOX 7137, TE NGAE, ROTORUA 3042 Ph 07-343-9017; Fax 07-343-9018, email [email protected], www.wildlands.co.nz EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tarawera Landcare 2115, via the Lake Tarawera Ratepayers Association, has signed a MoU with Rotorua Lakes Council regarding the management of Council land along the margins of Lake Tarawera between Otumutu Lagoon and Te Toroa Point. The site is c.6.5 km long and covers 24 ha. The Lake Tarawera Ratepayers Association has commissioned this plan to guide ecological management there. A separate plan has been developed for Māori land on Kariri Point. A review of background information and ecological surveys and assessments of the study area were undertaken during October-December 2016. Indigenous forest dominated by māhoe, mamaku, kāmahi, fivefinger and, in places, pōhutukawa and kānuka, occupies around 40% of the study area, and is representative of the vegetation regenerating after the 1886 Tarawera eruption. A distinctive feature is the presence of healthy numbers of the mistletoe Tupeia antarctica, an At Risk species, from Cliff Road Reserve northwards, attributable to ongoing possum control by the Tarawera community. Lakeshore vegetation provides roosting and nesting habitat for waterbirds, particularly dabchick, a Threatened endemic waterbird present along the entire shoreline.
